Skulpturenpark Artpark, Sculpture garden and art museum in Lustenau district, Linz, Austria.
Skulpturenpark Artpark is a sculpture garden and art museum located on the rooftop of a shopping center in Linz, spanning several thousand square meters. The space displays contemporary sculptures and installations in an open setting with views across the city.
The park opened in 2006 as part of an urban renewal project that transformed a former train station area into a space for contemporary art exhibitions. This conversion brought together commercial development and artistic programming in an integrated way.
The park sits atop a shopping center and demonstrates how contemporary art can be woven into the daily urban landscape. Works from both Austrian and international artists are displayed here, chosen or created specifically for this outdoor setting.
The sculpture garden is open from April to October during the opening hours of the Lenaupark City shopping centre, and admission is free. It lies on the roof of the centre in the Makartviertel quarter of Lustenau, so access follows the building's hours. The new season opens each year on the first Wednesday in April.
The 2006 Integrationsweltkugel on the site measures 12.5 metres across and weighs 24 tonnes, built from a steel frame and 580 square metres of linen. Willi Kern's oversized Venus of Willendorf is made from thousands of one-shilling coins.
